281: He who knows the current situation is a hero! 【Explosive Update】

Lu Jiuyuan finally stopped, looked calmly at Guan Yutian, and said indifferently:

"This King passed through this place and wished to borrow your Supreme Alliance's ancient texts to find a few items.

Your Disciple, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, received a slight punishment. You have no objections, right?"

"This King?" Guan Yutian's pupils constricted slightly as he scrutinized Lu Jiuyuan.

Since the battle between Ying Shuntian and Qizu five hundred years ago, both died, leaving behind a curse. Now, for five hundred years, the world has been in chaos, with various Schools vying for territory, and the world has not been unified for a long time.

This kind of self-address, "This King," has not appeared for five hundred years!

Yet, the person before him, appearing to be in his thirties, possessed an extraordinary Aura, standing like a deep pool and a towering peak. Although he did not actively release his Aura, he gave Guan Yutian a sense of unfathomable depth.

"No matter what King you are, injuring my Disciple and trespassing into my School means you are not giving me Face! Take my palm!"

As a formidable figure, Guan Yutian knew that he must never retreat when facing a powerful enemy. He intended to unify the Jianghu and become the Supreme Alliance Leader, so he had to establish his prestige with decisive action.

Without further ado, his divine achievement rapidly circulated, and Qi surged around his body, with faint illusory Dragon shadows coiling about him.

"Divine Dragon Palm!"

He suddenly struck out with a palm, and the palm wind was vast, fierce, and unparalleled!

A condensed, incredibly solid golden Dragon-shaped Qi roared out, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, carrying the terrifying power to shatter mountains and shake peaks, rushing directly towards Lu Jiuyuan.

Where the palm wind passed, the ground's flagstones cracked inch by inch, and the air was compressed, emitting a booming sound.

With this palm, Guan Yutian had used eighty percent of his power, confident that even the top experts in the Jianghu who had been famous for decades would never dare to take it head-on.

Facing this awe-inspiring strike, a hint of disappointment flashed in Lu Jiuyuan's eyes.

"The palm technique is acceptable, but the force is a bit lacking."

He still did not draw his sword. He merely raised his right hand casually, his five fingers slightly clasped, and lightly met the attack with a punch.

There was no earth-shattering Qi explosion, no dazzling brilliance.

Lu Jiuyuan's fist, just like that, unremarkably struck the roaring golden Dragon-shaped Qi.

"Pop—"

A faint sound like a bursting bubble.

The power of the Divine Dragon Palm, capable of splitting stone tablets and shattering gold and jade, upon contact with Lu Jiuyuan's fist, silently disintegrated and melted away like ice and snow meeting a scorching sun, without even stirring a ripple.

The sneer on Guan Yutian's Face instantly froze, transforming into extreme shock and disbelief.

"This is impossible!"

One of his strongest palm techniques was actually broken so effortlessly by the opponent?

However, before he could react further, Lu Jiuyuan's fist, having broken through the palm force, continued its momentum, lightly shaking through the air.

"Thump!"

An invisible yet substantial surge of immense power came through the air. Guan Yutian felt as if he had been directly struck by a flying mountain. His protective Qi instantly shattered,

and his sturdy body was uncontrollably sent flying backward, spewing fresh blood that turned into red profound ice in the air, tracing a tragic and beautiful arc.

"Alliance Leader!"

The Elders and Disciples of the Supreme Alliance who had rushed over were all scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering at this sight, crying out in alarm.

Guan Yutian crashed heavily dozens of meters away. He struggled to get up but then spat out another mouthful of blood, his Face as pale as paper, his gaze towards Lu Jiuyuan filled with terror.

"Are you the Evil God Gu Mutian, or the Elder of the Frontier?"

"Your injuries are much lighter than you let on! I will be the master of the Supreme Alliance from now on. What do you think?"

"Guan Yutian greets the Alliance Leader!" Guan Yutian knelt down without hesitation and bowed.

As expected of a hero of his generation, one of the intellectual ceiling figures in the Life and Death Chess world. A wise man submits to circumstances, able to bend and stretch. He knelt quickly!

The situation was stronger than any man. The strength displayed by the opponent far exceeded his imagination. Effortlessly breaking the Divine Dragon Palm and severely wounding him with a single punch from a distance. Such cultivation could probably only be matched by those two legendary figures.

Resisting would only lead to death. A great man can bend and stretch; temporary submission would allow for future plans.

"Bold! Why do you not greet the Alliance Leader!" Guan Yutian shouted loudly.

As soon as these words came out, the entire scene was astonished.

Those Elders and elite Disciples who were originally prepared to fight to the death looked at each other in dismay. We still wanted to fight to the death, but the sect leader had already surrendered.

What's the point of fighting then? They all lowered their weapons and knelt on the ground, shouting unevenly: "Greetings, Alliance Leader!"

Lu Jiuyuan's gaze swept over the kneeling crowd, finally resting on Guan Yutian.

"Rise. Take me to see my Supreme Alliance!"

"Yes, Alliance Leader, please follow me." Guan Yutian suppressed his injuries, got up, and led the way.

Lu Jiuyuan nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Guan Yutian's perceptiveness. He walked with his hands behind his back. Guan Yutian, enduring his internal injuries, walked slightly half a step behind, leading the way, while introducing the layout and current situation of the Supreme Alliance in a low voice.

"Alliance Leader, this is the training ground, where Disciples usually practice. That's where the various halls handle affairs... Further back are the storerooms and the library..."

As Guan Yutian introduced, he carefully observed Lu Jiuyuan's expression.

This new Alliance Leader had a profound Aura, and wherever his gaze swept, it seemed to penetrate everything, making Guan Yutian not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

The Supreme Alliance Disciples encountered along the way, seeing Guan Yutian respectfully following behind an unfamiliar man in a red Dragon robe, all showed expressions of shock, stepping aside and saluting, their hearts filled with doubt and awe.

Upon reaching the depths of the mountain villa, a more magnificent hall came into view. The plaque above bore the three gilded characters "Supreme Hall," which was the place where the Alliance Leader discussed matters and issued commands.

Stepping into the grand hall, the interior space was vast, decorated lavishly and dominantly, fully displaying Guan Yutian's imposing style as a regional overlord.

Lu Jiuyuan walked directly to the sole Alliance Leader's throne and sat down calmly, his gaze serenely overlooking below. Guan Yutian stood with his hands down at the foot of the steps, his posture extremely humble.

"Tell me, what is the current power of the Supreme Alliance, and who are the noteworthy opponents in the Jianghu?"

Lu Jiuyuan spoke indifferently. Since he had taken over this place, he naturally needed to understand the situation clearly.

Guan Yutian dared not conceal anything and quickly replied: "Reporting to the Alliance Leader, my Supreme Alliance's power now spans seven provinces, with numerous experts in the Alliance.

With over ten thousand Disciples, it is one of the largest forces on the surface of the Martial Forest today. However..."

He hesitated slightly.

"However what? Speak freely."

"However, in recent years, the Sea Shark Palace has risen extremely rapidly. Its Palace Lord, Helian Ba, possesses formidable martial arts and is ambitious. He has been constantly vying for territory with my Supreme Alliance, leading to continuous conflicts.

This person has already mastered the 'Avatar Demonic Shadow Divine Art' to the ninth level, making him extremely troublesome and a great enemy."

"He bribed an internal spy by my side, wanting to seize my position as Alliance Leader! Today, the Alliance was on high alert, precisely to deal with him.

I didn't expect you, Alliance Leader, to arrive." Guan Yutian explained earnestly.
